Bring Lightness and Healing to Heavy Places
Your gift helps bring lightness, connection, and care to children, older adults and their families as they face some of life’s hardest moments.
Why Give to Hearts & Noses?
In a hospital room or care facility, so much is out of a person’s control. The machines beep. The staff rush. The world narrows to a diagnosis, a name on a bracelet, and sometimes stretches of time with limited interaction from the outside.
But when a Hearts & Noses clown enters the room, something shifts.
Suddenly, the child in the hospital bed is a pirate on an adventure. The elder in memory care taps out a rhythm to a familiar old song. A tired parent exhales. A nurse smiles. The energy changes.
Your donation makes these moments possible.
Hearts & Noses clowns aren’t entertainers.
They are trained therapeutic artists, grounded in trauma-informed practices, emotional sensitivity, and deep improvisational skill. Every visit is a doorway to presence, empowerment, and dignity.
Your Gift Brings Joy & Infuses Hope Where It’s Needed Most
Whether it’s through song, laughter, a gentle glance, or a shared moment of play, our visits provide more than distraction. They offer emotional grounding, connection, and relief.
We serve:
- Children undergoing treatment in pediatric hospitals
- Elders living with dementia in long-term care

- The health care workers who witness it all
- And we serve them with presence, compassion, and deep respect.
